You're just trolling at this point but hey i'll do what you can't and justify my own words.

"monopoly" in some peoples' opinions (not mine but im open to their dominance being a bad thing anyway), 30% cut (still an industry standard but could and should be lower despite the value it provides), drm (optional but fuck drm in any form), gambling (no parenthesis needed i hope), returns and support itself being rather limited. Im sure we can come up with more.

None of those are enshittification.

Rent for single family properties is higher than the mortgage of that same property. In theory. So ideally no single family property should be rented as its purely a parasite relationship. Again, in theory.

The problem is that isn't always true in practice with today's market and rules. because if the previous owner has had their mortgage long enough, then it could be quite a lot less than a new mortgage. That makes a situation where rent is higher than their old mortgage (providing landlord profit), but cheaper than a new mortgage (providing a valid choice to a renter).

But many of us argue that the current situation is unnecessary and drives up overall market costs. Even when done by just small landlords, it all adds up because the system allows it to.

So its not so much telling you what to rent and what not to rent. its more that in a better system, you wouldnt ever choose to rent that way. Mortgages on small or attached single family homes would just be cheaper and affordable like they were in the past. And if you needed even less costs, renting would be the option in actual properties designed for it. Whether that is sardine packed 600 sqft, or not.

Nobody has even shit on you, its not shitting on you to simply disagree. You seem to just have thin skin. You've typed endless replies and it would have taken much less time and effort to simply explain your position. I think the real issue is you can't justify your position after you thought about it more. Because steam is many things, good and bad, but enshittified aint one of em. But just like many sensitive posters on social media, you'd rather comment repeatedly about every other sentence people write, rather than the topic at hand. Like my username, since that's so relevant lol...

You've still yet to actually say how steam is enshittified despite several comments asking. You reply but dodge the real question.

Ah yes, so that they will be replaced with someone much worse. Great plan.

What about people who have artistic thoughts but have trouble getting them out of their head? I would argue that is most people because most of us arent artists. We also arent going to pay a commission for every idea we have. A simple image generator can be valid for that.

Also you are ignoring those who may even refine their prompt generated images (which are usually what people see as ai slop) into something better using all the new tools and techniques available now (inpainting, controlnets, regional guidance, etc). I dont think that is any less of an artistic process or artistic outlet than doing it with photoshop or with physical media.

To add on to your comment. Even beyond job/industry, its like your cooking example. I spin up an llm locally at home for random tasks. An llm can be your personal fitness coach, help you with budgeting, improve your emails, summarize news articles, help with creative writing, christmas shopping list ideas, brainstorm plants for your new garden, etc etc. they can fit into so many simple roles that you sporadically need.

Its just so easy to fall into the trap of hating them because of the bullshit surrounding them.

Yes obviously. One is completely transparent about being incomplete, often discounted. The other is deceitful and lying about incomplete and charging you full price.

If only there was some sort of early access system to allow devs to get some monetization while they finish developing their ambitious game.

Its only novel that they got away with claiming a full release of their early access game.

What? Maybe if you compare an old hard tire with no grip to a modern soft tire with tons of grip. But a modern hard tire lasts as long or longer and has more grip in all conditions.

My only problem is that so many characters of all types have become these unlikable shells of blandness. People wanna blame DEI or "woke" or whatever else the word of the week is, but that's not it. Look at the cast of Concord compared to something like Deadlock. Both are diverse enough, but only one has substance.

So everyone that doesn't put their life on hold and join you in protest is your enemy. Got it. Enjoy having very few allies. That's not how you win people over or start any sort of movement. Sympathizers are valuable to your cause too. Maybe you'll notice that eventually.
